the only way to find out is to open the machine and look for a sound chip ettched on the motherboard...little searching by a magnifying glass may be required...then u need to c which chip is there (it may be Realteck)
the best alternate is to use a USB sound adaptor....

The yellow question mark is telling you that there is a problem with the device, namely your sound card. It is probably needing the drivers for the card. If you have the disk for the sound card, use it and install the drivers or go to the web site for the card and download and install drivers from there. This will solve your problem. Good luck

you have the asus motherboard cd,if you have then install the sound driver, go to the bios setup and check there your sound is enable reinstall the fresh copy of windows xp,your motherboard warranty is finished,give me detail of the motherboard

Question:
Where do I locate motherboard sound drivers?
Answer:
Users who have motherboards with on-board audio (often with VIA, Realtek, or C-Mediachipsets) may have issues with their audio or AC'97 errors in Device Manager. Often this is caused because the operating system has been reinstalled and the motherboard chipset drivers are not installed. To resolve this issue try following the below steps.
Let Windows redetect drivers
If you have not recently reinstalled Microsoft Windows it's possible that your audio drivers are simply corrupt. Open Device Manager and remove all devices under "Sound, video and game controllers" and any "Other devices". Once removed reboot the computer and let Microsoft Windows re-detect the audio drivers.
Motherboard chipset drivers
Reinstalling the motherboard chipset drivers will usually resolve this issue. If your computer came with a Motherboard CD, install the chipset drivers from the CD and the sound drivers if also available on the CD.
If you do not have a motherboard CD, obtain the motherboard chipset drivers from the motherboard manufacturer.
Sound card drivers
If after installing the motherboard chipset drivers you continue to have issues install the sound drivers. We suggest you download the sound drivers from the computer manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer.
A listing of motherboard manufacturers and their drivers can be found on our motherboard chipset drivers page.

This is a very common problem. You may connect your PC to internet and select update driver. The required Driver will beautomatically downloaded. If you don't get the required material, give me the Model of your Motherboard and the Operating system you are using, I will give you a detailed solution for the problem.
The second thing, you are getting the right memory, rest of your memory has been shared for Graphics.

First thing first:
1) check your sound card drivers, in control panel, and device manager that all is ok and no ( ? ) yellow mark is there.
2) Go to multimedia on control panel and check for your sound that is NOT in mute. pop up all the volumes.
check speakers for connections in the right green /black connector
good luck
